Lake Nona Central: the perks of a retirement community for all ages
Lake Nona Central in southeast Orlando encompasses a few businesses and VillageWalk, a gated residential development with the feel of a coastal resort. Rows of Mediterranean-style homes were built along canals, ensuring nearly every house was on the waterfront. Meanwhile, multiple pools, tennis courts and a large clubhouse sit at the center of the community. This atmosphere isn’t an accident. The original builder's experience constructing South Florida retirement communities influenced Lake Nona Central. While homebuyers of any age are welcome here, it offers perks typically found in 55-plus communities, says David Myers, broker associate at Ziro Realty. “Their HOA fees include landscaping and exterior care. It’s extremely popular for second-home owners.” Lake Nona Central is one section of Lake Nona, a 17-square-mile master-planned community known for its recreation, health care industry and large shopping plazas.
Lake Nona Central features many amenities, such as a clubhouse and recreation area right in the center of the neighborhood.
Lake Nona Central has a private clubhouse for residents that hosts events and shows.

Mediterranean-style architecture and lots of amenities
While VillageWalk in Lake Nona isn’t age-restricted, it incorporates elements common in 55-plus communities, including a limited number of floor plans and amenities such as a clubhouse and resort-style pool. “When I take people in there, they either love or hate it,” says Myers, who founded the Nona Orlando Properties team. “The people who hate it say it feels like a retirement community.” Many of the original homes were one-story designs, but two- and three-story houses were added later. One-story homes typically list between $420,000 and $650,000, while larger houses list between $700,000 and $960,000. Enclave at VillageWalk, a luxury section of the neighborhood, has much larger houses with prices from $1.3 million to $1.7 million. There are more than 100 townhouses throughout VillageWalk, priced from $425,000 to $500,000. Though most homes are on the water, they are not in flood zones, according to FEMA data.
Many Lake Nona Central homes are located along the neighborhood's canals.

Proximity to pools, trails and the USTA National Campus
Residents typically pay hundreds of dollars in monthly HOA fees, which fund VillageWalk’s amenities. At the clubhouse, residents can access a 24-hour gym, two pools, a library and more. Paved trails winding through VillageWalk connect homes to the clubhouse and lead residents on strolls along the community’s waterfront and wooded thickets. Just outside VillageWalk, the USTA National Campus has 98 tennis courts, plus pickleball and padel courts. Professionals, college players and junior prospects train at the facility, which hosts tennis events from amateur tournaments to NCAA championship matches. “The USTA [campus] has brought in a ton of tennis professionals,” Myers says. “There are quite a few people who purchase in VillageWalk and work at USTA.” Lake Nona Central is also home to Drive Shack, an interactive driving range that serves food and drinks.
